1.1 Introduction Welcome: Following the purchase of the MARCUS® Radio Module, there will be several factors to consider prior to its installation, including placement of the radio module and selection and placement of the GPS & Radio antenna. This Operator’s Manual is designed to provide instructions for the installation of the Discrete Wireless Third Generation (3G) wireless in-vehicle hardware; MARCUS® 3G Rev W-2. This manual also provides a detailed description of the MARCUS® 3G Radio Module with optional input/outputs (I/O). Purpose: The purpose of this document is to outline the general requirements for installing the MARCUS® Radio Module for use with the MARCUS® GPS Fleet Management Application. Audience: This document is designed for new and experienced installers and their managers to help overcome difficulties associated with radio module installations. Scope: This manual covers the following: · Equipment and Tools · Antenna Types · Installations · Troubleshooting Wireless Network: The MARCUS® 3G GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service) Radio Module is optimized to be utilized on the AT&T GPRS nationwide network in the U.S., Canada and other US based GPRS Data Networks.

1.2 Overview The purpose of the MARCUS® Web application is to track vehicles using a standard Internet connection. The overall system consists of one or more mobile devices and the Discrete Wireless Gateway. A tracking device can be easily installed inside any vehicle. The MARCUS®

Radio Module can also monitor operational status and can collect data from external probes or sensors through the Sensor Connector. All of this information is transferred to the Discrete Wireless Gateway through a wireless communication link. The Discrete Wireless Gateway is capable of controlling and monitoring multiple mobile devices. The position data received from the mobile devices is transferred to the Discrete Wireless Gateway where it is displayed on a Geographical Information System (GIS) utilizing mapping technology within the Internet-based on the MARCUS® GPS Fleet Management Application. 1.3 MARCUS® 3G Radio Module Hardware The mobile devices are small, can be easily and quickly attached to a vehicle, and will receive commands, provide GPS position data and status information to the Discrete Wireless Gateway via various wireless networks. The GPS and wireless communication modules require additional antenna. The device is powered by an external power supply; vehicle power (9-30 volts). The devices are designed to be installed in the vehicles cab and are capable of surviving and functioning inside the vehicle. The unit is not waterproof, nor is it designed to be placed near or on heat generating sources (in the engine compartment, attached to the heater).

3. Antennas 3.1 General Antenna Guidelines Introduction Among all installation variables, antenna location has the greatest impact on the performance of the radio module. Great care should be taken before selecting and installing the antennas. The standard antenna types that are used with the MARCUS® 3G Radio Module are Glass Mount Antennas. The below is an overview of these types and the recommended installation guidelines for each. Glass Mount Antennas The most popular type of antenna is the glass mount, 1dB gain antenna. This antenna does not require a mounting hole and is mounted on the inside glass of the vehicle's window. Observe the manufacturer's precautions when mounting the antenna near defroster wires. The defroster wires, as well as metal flake-treated windshields, can impede or stop the transfer of radio energy through the glass. 3.2 GPS Antenna As a general rule, the placement of the GPS antenna must have a clear view of a large portion of the sky in order to be able to receive GPS satellite data. It is recommended that the GPS antenna have a clear view of at least 40 % of the sky and be as horizontal as possible. Reception is shielded by metal, but the antenna can be under such non-metallic materials such as plastic, fiberboard, fiberglass, etc. The GPS antenna should be a + 3.3V active gain (+26 dBm gain) antenna. You should always refer to the antenna manufacturer’s guidelines that will be included with the antenna packaging. 3.3 RF Antenna As a general rule, the placement of the Radio Frequency (RF) antenna is as high and vertical as possible. Windscreens, ladder racks, or other radio transmission antennas should not obstruct the antennas view of the sky. If there are other radio antennas on the vehicle, position the MARCUS RF transmission antenna at least 18 inches away. You should always refer to the antenna manufacturer’s guidelines that will be included with the antenna packaging.

4. Vehicle Wiring 4.1 To connect power- It is helpful to review the owner’s manual of each vehicle to determine which wires are acceptable to use. Test probable wires with a digital voltmeter to determine if they have the proper voltage in both the engine running, and engine off states. It is recommended that a 14-18 gauge wire crimp be used to splice onto the proper wire. Acceptable methods of power wire installation include poke and wrap, T-taps and scotch locks. A constant power source is essential in the retention of GPS data inside the MARCUS® unit, and is REQUIRED. Be sure to verify that the power source you have chosen will work when the vehicle is not running, and the keys are removed. Insert a 3-amp fuse in-line with the power and ignition lead. This will protect the unit against power surges and voiding the warranty. There are 2 in-line fuses included in the installation kit. An Ignition source is also required for proper operation of the MARCUS unit. This wire can be found in close proximity to the main power wire. Be sure that the wire that is tapped is an ignition wire and not an accessory wire. Some vehicles have wires that are only powered when vehicle is running, this is the preferred wire. If there are any questions on what wire colors to use, you can contact the Field Operations Director or Supervisor

The best place to pull power is at the ignition harness leading to the ignition switch. Make sure the ground point is WELDED not bolted to the under dash supports.

4.2 To use wire crimp Find constant 12+v wire and slide crimp over wire. Slide red fused wire from Marcus power cable all the way into the holder and crimp with pliers. Cable tie the fused wire to the lead wire. Next, find an ignition wire that is 12+v when ignition is in the RUN position and open or ground when ignition is off. Slide crimp onto lead wire and then insert fused ignition lead into side of crimp and crimp with pliers. Cable tie the fused wire to the lead wire. Apply Torque Seal to all connections.

4.3 Securing ground wire. Strip enough slack in the power cable to allow sufficient length as to attach the black wire to a solid metal surface that is welded, not bolted to an under dash support. Add a grounding ring connector to the end of the black wire, crimp it and screw it securely onto a non painted metal frame or plate. Temporarily connect the radio module to ensure it is on constant power before final placement. 4.3.1 Picture - Proper placement of electrical ground wire

NOTE: When installing the Marcus® 3G unit in any late (new) model vehicle, verify all connections using a digital multi-meter. In some instances, obtaining power will require direct connection to the battery. CAN based vehicles will contain data lines which will show voltage on the line itself (usually 5V) but the line is actually a data line. Most late (new) model vehicles utilize “CAN” based ignition and accessory circuits so the ignition line running down the center of the steering column is actually a data circuit. Connecting the Marcus® 3G Module to these circuits can and will cause the unit to malfunction and may also damage the OEM electronic modules within the vehicle. As a rule of thumb always use the thickest wires, as they carry the most amperage.

4.4 Power Specifications The power connector on the unit is a female Molex plug with 8 pins of which three are used to power the MARCUS® unit, and four pins are left available for sensor installations. These mate with the male Molex connector attached to the power cable. The power cable connector has a red + VDC lead, a white switched lead, and a black ground lead. The power for each MARCUS® 3G Radio Module consumes approximately 80 milliamps while transmitting data over GPRS networks, and 35 milliamps when the unit is not transmitting or in sleep mode. In sleep mode the unit will draw the same amount of energy as the vehicles ECU. There is an external connector for the power into the unit. The unit will operate with external vehicle power between +9 to +30 volts DC. The power supply board inside the box converts the externally supplied power to voltages needed by the system through DC-to-DC conversion components. The unit has been designed to power down in a “sleep” mode when the ignition is turned off to minimize battery drain. All sensors and Ignition events are on a 3 second delay. When there is a state change, it will take the Marcus unit 3 seconds to accept that a state change has occurred before transmitting the ignition or sensor data.

6. After Installation Testing 6.1 In the Field The MARCUS® 3G Radio Module registers on the Discrete Wireless Gateway for the first time when it’s in both radio and GPS coverage and the ignition is switched on. You can determine whether or not the unit is in coverage easily by the presence of solid green lights on the face of the MARCUS® 3G Radio Module. When the module is operating correctly there should be a solid green light on PWR, GPS, and COM. Note: The Radio light will flicker when transmitting.

6.2 On the Internet It is recommended that after installation, the vehicle be driven around for 2 to 4 minutes. Through a computer connected to the Internet, using Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, go to www.discretewireless.com and sign in using the end-users or dealers login and password. (note: Firefox browser will not work properly) After logging into the end-users account, view the recently installed unit under the Find Tab (see MARCUS® GPS FLEET MANAGEMENT APPLICATION USER’S GUIDE). Check the recent history of the vehicle and verify the unit is operational. If you have a mobile phone with an internet browser, you can go to www.trackerinstall.com and verify operation. This will also work with internet explorer, though it is designed to be read on a mobile platform. Please see the installer portal users guide for more information on trackerinstall.com

Appendix A: Installation of the MARCUS PTO/Door Sensor

The MARCUS® PTO/Door Sensor is used to gather PTO (Power Take Off) or Door (Door Open/Close) information from a vehicle. These events are recorded, and then transferred wirelessly to the Discrete Wireless Gateway and can be viewed through the MARCUS® Web Application.

The sensor can be wired to any +12-volt or -12 volt DC line that powers on and off along with the desired event. This wire can either be a 12v+ or 12v- trigger. When a vehicle’s PTO is engaged, or the door is open, the current on the + or - 12-volt DC wire completes a circuit and sends a message through the MARCUS® 3G Radio Module. When the event is finished, and the + or - 12-volt DC wire loses power, a second message is sent signaling the end of the event. All sensors need to be installed with a relay in line to ensure proper operation. (NOTE: Before installation of the MARCUS® sensor, Discrete Wireless Customer Service must be contacted to enable the sensor on the application. Please contact Discrete Wireless at [email protected] or call 678-338-5955. Please be prepared to supply the type of sensor install, (PTO or Door) and the Min # of the MARCUS® unit the sensor will be used with.)

Connecting an Auxiliary device to the Marcus unit: The Marcus device can be ordered with the Power Sensor Cable (PSC) if the customer needs to monitor an auxiliary device such as a PTO, Rear door, etc. The Marcus unit will accept 3 sensor inputs in addition to the Ignition input. The PSC will include 2-4 wires in addition to the Black, Red, and White. An Orange, Green, Blue Brown or Grey wire will be installed in to the harness for the auxiliary input. Depending on the type of Auxiliary device you will be connecting the Marcus unit you will either a POSITIVE trigger or a NEGATIVE trigger when the Auxiliary device is activated. Do I have an Auxiliary device? There are many different types of auxiliary devices that can be connected to the Marcus unit to capture an event. Many of these devices will be activated by the driver of the vehicle to perform some type of action using the vehicle, such as a PTO (Power Take Off) on a Tow truck or the sweeping device on a Street Cleaning truck. Other auxiliary devices may be installed by a technician at the time of the Marcus installation in order to capture other types of important information. One of the most common add on auxiliary devices is a Rear Door sensor (RDS). RDS are used to capture data when the rear door on a vehicle such as a box truck is opened.

Do I have a Positive or Negative trigger? An Installation tech can determine what type of polarity your auxiliary device has by using a digital multi meter to test the auxiliary device when it is engaged. Positive: It has been determined that the auxiliary device has a positive trigger. The ORANGE wire on the PSC will need to be connecter to the wire that is +12 volts then the auxiliary device is activated. One important thing to do when connecting a Positive trigger is to put an inline 3 amp fuse on the Orange wire between the Marcus unit and the auxiliary device. The fuse will need to be located as close to the auxiliary device as possible.
